Top 5 Tips For Surviving The Winter

We're back with another Tech Tip! Wait, there's nothing "techy" about this tip but, — it's incredibly helpful. 😉

Tis' the season of harsh weather for some, and for those of you who share the same climate, we wanted to pass some knowledge down to you.

In this week's video, our lead engineer Brett Kelly wants to give you his top 5 tips for surviving the winter.

Check it out below!

We Destroyed Our Ceph Cluster

If you have been following 45Drives for a while -  you may remember a video called "Trying to destroy a clustered volume during a file transfer." In that video, our lead engineer attempted to take down a Gluster Cluster by doing everything possible to fail the cluster during a transfer  —  to show the resilience of a Gluster Cluster. 

However, because we now work primarily with Ceph, and that's what our clustered solution is running here at 45Drives, we thought it was time to redo the video! Please enjoy this video of our lead engineer, Brett Kelly, taking down our 45Drives clustered solution.
